Why is the --attachments option required when executing the az communication email send command?

[tatsuyaHello]

Describe the bug

The --attachments option is now required when executing the az communication email send command.

I understand that the communication version I am using ("1.8.0b1") is the preview, so updates run constantly based on feedback.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cli/azure/reference-types-and-status#what-is-reference-status

However, I find it too odd to make the --attachments option mandatory.

Expected behavior

I think --attachments is optional command.
